Feeding issues with factory .45 WWC 185 SWC vs. Fedreal 185 SWC
First topic message reminder :
I recently had to replace the barrel in my primary wad gun. I had a new Barstow barrel, bushing and link fitted. Prior to the replacement I had no issues with the gun, it would eat any thing I put in it. The problem now is that the new barrel will feed WWC flawlessly while Federal will not go into battery. Since I have several thousand rounds of Federal on hand I am looking for a solution to the feeding problem.
So far it has been suggested that I
a. use emery cloth to polish the chamber
b. run the Federal ammo through a sizing die
c. run the Federal through a taper crimp
d. from a buddy, "stop using the Federal and give it to me"
Your thoughts/opines would be appreciated.

Unless the other barrel was Bar-Sto, you "probably" simply have a tight match chamber.
Again, try to give the Fed. rounds a little taper crimp.
Of course, if you don't reload, you can't do that.
Call Bar-Sto and ask them.
Why ask a bunch of folks who are more or less waving their hands in the air, when you ask the folks who made the barrel.
